Iwaki Yumoto Onsen × Ranking Penginapan Dengan Hidangan Laut IstimewaKemudahan dan peralatan yang dinilai tinggi di Hotel·penginapan gaya Jepun

Because I rarely have the chance to travel with family or close friends, I usually travel alone. Soaking in the Onsen helps me clear my mind. Enjoying delicious food is a true happiness. What’s more, Shin Tsuta brings me peace, so I return again and again. This is very important to me. The sense of calm and fulfillment I feel is thanks to the warmth and character of each and every member of your staff. That calm and fulfillment also makes me feel as if it restores my purity. When I get home, I already want to go back to Shin Tsuta—like when I was young, after seeing my sweetheart and returning to the dormitory, I immediately wanted to see them again.

As we were at a point where we might have to leave Tokyo due to my daughter’s job assignment, the three of us stayed at Shohakukan in Onahama. It’s a historic building, but it was thoroughly cleaned down to every corner, so we felt comfortable and at ease throughout our stay. We chose a room with a private hot spring bath and a massage chair! The in-room hot spring had an authentic sulfur scent that really made it feel like a true onsen experience, and we took turns using the massage chair as a family to soothe our travel fatigue. Upgrading the meals was absolutely the right decision! Crab, grilled dancing abalone, Joshu beef steak, simmered splendid alfonsino (kinmedai), deep-fried mehikari… everything was incredibly luxurious, and we enjoyed so many local specialties. Every dish was truly delicious—I almost felt bad that we couldn’t finish everything. Sorry about that! Another unforgettable part of our stay was chatting with the wonderful attendant wearing glasses. She shared so many enjoyable stories about the inn’s history, sightseeing spots, and recommended sake, making our trip even warmer and more memorable. Thank you very much. In the midst of our busy daily lives, it meant so much to relax as a family of three again—enjoying great food and unwinding in the hot springs—and it made us fall in love with Fukushima for the first time. We would love to return again someday. Thank you sincerely for everything!

It was a very comfortable Room. The seafood dishes were also excellent. The bath was clean and we enjoyed it. After checking out, I realized I had forgotten my hat and called; they helped me, and it arrived at my home the next day. It became a wonderful memory. I will visit again.

Stayed on a weekday before the Obon holiday in August with the most affordable plan for 4 people. Despite some initial concerns, it was excellent value for money and an incredibly satisfying stay. The room was about 12 tatami mats in size, with a spacious hallway entrance and a wide sitting area by the window overlooking trees, comfortably seating four people. The bathroom had two sinks, and while there was a toilet in the room, there were also toilets located throughout the hallways and other areas. The bath was spacious with slightly sulfur-scented Onsen water that left my skin feeling smooth. Meals were served at tables in a large tatami-floored dining area. There was a menu provided along with explanations from staff members. While not extravagant, the dishes were creative and deliciously satisfying. For those wanting more luxurious options like beef or crab dishes, upgrading to another plan might be better suited. Tea and water were self-serve but made using tea leaves rather than tea bags, which made it taste better; even the water itself tasted great! After check-in, our luggage was carried to our room by staff who were kind and attentive throughout our stay. The building itself is impressive yet simple in design—clean with quick elevator access—and we enjoyed relaxing without any crowds at the baths or elsewhere around the Ryokan grounds. The road leading to this Ryokan wasn’t narrow either! One thing to note: they provide yukata robes but only one Onsen towel besides bath towels; so bringing your own pajamas or face towels might be helpful (especially if you find sleeping in yukata uncomfortable like I do). Would love to visit again!

We enjoyed the excellent hot springs, delicious meals, and complimentary drinks.

When I came back to my hometown, I wanted to enjoy an Onsen, so I stayed here after hearing from a local friend that it was their “top recommended Hotel right now.” The entire property is spotless—and stylish. The Room is a bit small, but the minimalist design (with no unnecessary extras) actually made it calming and easy to relax. The Onsen is 100% free-flowing from the source, and it warms you up incredibly well. I also heard it’s great for your skin, and seeing how fair-skinned the staff are made me believe it (lol). Yumoto Onsen is said to be effective for dark spots. I’d heard breakfast was a buffet and honestly didn’t expect much, but it exceeded my expectations in the best way. Everything was carefully prepared with a wide variety of options, and all of it was delicious. When I asked about the yogurt, a staff member explained everything kindly and thoroughly—great service really stood out. In this era of rising prices and inbound tourism, this is a rare Accommodation where both value for money and hospitality feel truly outstanding. Everyone on the staff was so kind—it’s an Accommodation with genuine warmth that makes you want to come back.

I stayed here to enjoy the Onsen, and all three baths in the building were excellent. The open-air bath in the sky was especially refreshing—I could have stayed in it forever. Each of the three baths had both hot and lukewarm tubs, so I could choose what I liked. Since it was a weekday after the Obon holidays, it wasn’t crowded and I was able to truly relax. As a solo traveler, my Room was a single Room like you’d find at a Business Hotel, but that’s what I expected, so it wasn’t an issue. The Onsen Shrine just a 1-minute walk from the Hotel was also quiet and became one of my favorite spots (you can pray for safe bathing). There are footbaths inside the station, in front of the station, and around town as well—Furutakiya is an outstanding Accommodation as a base for Yumoto, an Onsen town. Although I booked a Plan without meals, I had dinner at the dining venue “Tsudaya” on the second floor. The seafood rice bowl was delicious, and their à la carte dishes also looked great.

The Room was spacious enough for a solo stay and very clean, so I could relax comfortably. The Onsen was a bit hot for me, but it felt wonderful. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. If I visit the Iwaki area again, I would definitely like to stay here again.
